THE MANITOBA RAILROAD.
Building by Electric Light-Five Miles of
Track Day.
WINNEPEG, March 23,

WINNEPEG, March Z3.
The Manitoba Railroad will execute the
greatest feat in construction in 1887 that has
ever been accomplished in this country, and
1t Is no less than the partial building of the
road bv electric light. The following in
formation was obtained from General Man.
ager Manual, of the road:
1t is proposed to build $50 miles from the
western end of the Manitoba road to Great
Falls, Mont, and ninety miles from Great
Falls to Helena, This extraordinary step
is made necessary because of delay caused
by negotia,ious with the Northern Pacific
railroad This latter road, which was the
only one that could transport the steel rails
to the other end of the proposed route. so as
to enable the Manitoba to build from both
ends Mt the same time placed such heavy
freight rate upon the transportation of the
rails that it amounted to prohibition. The
contract has been let for the whole work,
which stipulates that it shall be completed on
or before Nov. 23 next. In order that this
may be accomplished the services of more
than 5000 graders will be required, and in
LAYING the steel the contractors propose to
use stean, track-laying machine and en-
ploy three separate crews of men who will
work eight hours each day, using electric
lights at night, which, it is expected, will en-
able them to complete five miles per day.
In this way this vast work will be done and
the Manitoba will have advanced its western
terminus to within 750 miles of the Pacific
coast.

THE ECCLESIASTICAL BILL.
Prince Bismarck Makes Long Speech in
Defence of the Measure.
BERLIN, March 90.

BERLIN, March 90.
Oberhau today, in the plenary session, be-
gan the discussion of the ecclesiastical bill.
Prince Bismarck made a long speech in de-
fence OF the measure. He said that as re-
garded the question of religious orders the
chief point to be determined was whether the
Catholic citizens needed orders. 1t was GER
tain that the Catholics believed in the value
of orders and their sentiments should be sat
isfied in harmony with the legislation of the
country. Tho State naturally had
interest in the good training of priests
That training they could acquire as
well at seminaries as at universities.
1t was out of regard for unity of nations and
because of the dangers threatening that unity
that he iniated the present ecclesiastical bills
dol ng so with the full recognition of his res
possibility. Whether or not the bill would
lead to the establishment of religious peace
couldn't yet be known as the leaders of CEN
tire had placed the emselves in opposition to
the pope. No less dangerous than progress
sive were the subversive tendencies of the
lower clergy in whose removal the pope and
Emperor have equal inserests.

A Clean steal OF Seventy ThOusand-A
Big Delaware Firm Fails on his Ac.

WILMINGTON, Del, March

WILMINGTON, Del, March %.
The announcement is made that Lord &
Polk of Wilmington, one of the largest ferti-
lizer manufacturing companies in Delaware,
have failed and that preferred creditors have
entered upon judgments amounting to more
than SSl 900, which is said to be not more
than onehalt of the company's liabilities.
Lord & Polk have for many years been one
of the best standing companies in the State,
and until the dishonesty and fraud of Walter
Z Lawton, the ascending New York fertili-
ger broker, was made known, they were as
solid AS a rock.
LawGon was a stockholder in the company
and the implicit confidence put in HIN by
Lork & Polk and all interested in the COM
pany, gave him unlimited use of the company s
finance and credit. Lawton raised every
possible dollar on the credit of the company
and he made clean steal of $4,000. 1t
now appears that Lawton's transactions with
the company have all been fraudulent and
that he never paid for the large amount OF
the company's stock which he held.

BILE a stranger, who had arrived at the station

THE OCEAN RACE.
The Daun,less Thought to be in the
Region OF the lceburss.

New YORK, March %.
According to the best calculations if the
report of the steamer Rugia is true, the
Dauntless was in the region of the iceburgs
when observed and would in all probability
experience much difficulty in lodging about
these immense mountains of ice. She was
672 miles east by north of where the British
Prince reported her, and about 32S miles to
the southeast of Cape Race. These figures
Mace the Dauntless 1912 miles east of Sandy
Hook last Friday morning. If she has met
with no mishaps since then she has probably
about $50 miles to sale before she reaches
Rocke Point. her destination. There are
mapv who are skeptical as to the vessel
sighted being the Dauntless.
